I guess teacher Bobbi Harlow doesn’t see the giant spotted snorklewacker sitting in her class?

Stinky yet creative.

She doesn’t see him because he is an anxiety. Only exists in Binkley’s head!!

My anxieties would be on a full display as well if I was taking a test on Pythagorean Theorems.

Here’s a philosophical question…did Miss Harlow simply not see the snorklewacker because it is a figament of Binkley’s imagination, or did she see the snorklewacker and just not care?

Don’t anxieties disappear when we no longer have them, or at least appear spontaneously? Can’t we always reminisce about our favorite snorklewhackers and conjure them that way once we’ve overcome our anxieties? Miss Harlow didn’t care to conjure up her snorlewhacker at the time.

Actually, Miss Harlow has been dating the spotted snorklewacker for about six months now and they plan to elope right after the Pythagorean geometry test.

a^2 + b^2 = giant spotted snorklewacker attack

sin^2 + cos^2 = 1, even snorklewhackers know that!
